詩　韻

Today we took a walk up the street

And picked a flower and climbed the hill above the lake

And secret thoughts were said aloud

We watched the faces in the clouds

Until the clouds had blown away

And were we ever somewhere else

You know, it's hard to say

And I never saw blue like that before

Across the sky, around the world

You've given me all you have and more

No one else has ever shown me how

To see the world the way I see it now

Oh, I, I never saw blue like that

I can't believe a month ago

I was alone; I didn't know you

I've never seen or heard your name

And even now, I'm so amazed

It's like a dream; it's like a rainbow

It's like the rain

And some things are the way they are

And words just can't explain

(Refrain)

It feels like now; it feels always and it feels like coming home

(Refrain)

水泥森林中的我們，以為競爭和工作就是我們應(yīng)追求的一切，在所謂的成長中變得越來越麻木，越來越現(xiàn)實。我們不再相信真愛，不再相信童話；忘了小時候單純而美好的夢想，忘了這個世界上其實有蔚藍(lán)的天空，湛藍(lán)的海水。

2005年，在安徒生誕辰200周年紀(jì)念音樂會上，新西蘭女歌手Hayley Westenra以其透明如水晶般的純凈嗓音，演唱了“Never Saw Blue Like That”。隨著鋼琴旋律的緩緩響起，我們仿佛看到了童話里美人魚眼中那別樣的藍(lán)。雖然這首歌最初是美國著名民謠女歌手Shawn Colvin為電影Runaway Bride(《落跑新娘》)演唱的插曲，但經(jīng)過Hayley Westenra的演繹，這首歌被賦予了新的涵義。它提醒在現(xiàn)代生活中奔波忙碌的人們，要適時停下匆匆的腳步，看看路邊平凡卻動人的風(fēng)景，看看那從未見過的藍(lán)色……

Hayley Westenra有著天使般的臉龐，更有一顆天使般的愛心，現(xiàn)為聯(lián)合國兒童基金會最年輕的終身形象大使。其熱銷專輯有：Pure(2003)、Odyssey(2005)、Treasure(2007)等?！癗ever Saw Blue Like That”出自專輯Odyssey。
